Students don’t feel as if they’re all in “it” together with the billionare bankers across the other side of the city.

George’s grandfather Henry, obsessed with the outcome of the 2000 election, has planted a giant billboard of homage to Al Gore in his front yard that he suspects has been defaced by the paperboy, now a sworn enemy.
